4.0.4 Skips Hang Playback

[sub]

Does the timeline show correctly you're up past that 3 hours or so?

yea, and skipping is ok, just no resume point stored..
and since no in-progress, have to keep stopping and resuming manually..that works fine tho..

[sub]

Remind me exactly what happens when you try to play in-progress recordings? Is it the same for recordings from HDHR Prime and HDPVR?

[pBS]

well, you can't skip past 'live' point where you came in...
say a recording is 30 mins in, you start playing, when you get to 30 mins in, skips won't go past same place,[30 mins in] and timeline thiinks you're skipping is working, incrementing timeline and storing that [in]correct position in resume point..[where you would be if those bad skips had worked]
same for hdpvr and prime and client, mpeg2 or h264..

I get the exact same symptoms on both SD and HD recordings from UK Freeview using a Hauppauge Quad HD PCIe tuner. I currently watch in-progress recordings by stopping playback a few minutes before the 'live' point ... I then resume and get a new 'live' point. All recordings are fine when finished and no longer in-progress ... https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.ph...-recording

here's something odd, if you start playing an in-progress show soon after it starts and pause it and wait a bit, the in-progress works! but if you exit and start play again, it doesn't..
mpeg2 channel, will check h264..same..
after about 5 mins or less, if you restart playback, it won't work..
but sometimes i can get it to work if i play from beginning, and just skip straight to near live with single skip..
like the mem is getting corrupted..or it can't handle the numbers..this is 32bit machine..
i wonder how many others are on 32 bit with this prob?

Ok, I'll check that now - in my quick tests, I wasn't able to reproduce the issue, but maybe I was striking what you say here.

pBS, is this from a client PC, or directly on the machine with NextPVR?

[sub]

I did find one thing that might explain it. Can you see if this patch helps?

[pBS]

it's direct on server pc..i do most of my watching there...client only to make sure it works, i use that on occasion also..

so far on client, only difference looks to be all mpeg2 look jerky, recordings and live and in-progress..
